Anya Hindmarch for Target

It's no secret that being a fashion writer at a magazine means the occasional great freebie. Take this editor gift I recently received from Target, who is partnering with British accessories designer, Anya Hindmarch for a collection to hit stores in October...

Anya Hindmarch's designs usually range in the thousands (and yes, I do mean thousands of British pounds), but the Target stuff will be priced well below that--even this big, luxe-looking black patent and faux snake thing. As I discovered this morning, it's quite useful for transporting paperwork and manila folders to the office because of it's flat, but big, shape and construction. All of that said, I'm not sure how I feel about rocking a bag that probably hundreds of other ladies in my line of work also received. I mean, there's no shame in using free stuff but it's hardly the most original anymore when everyone else has one, is it? Nevermind. Can't wait to see more of this collection when it arrives on October 12th...mark your calendars!
